The document discusses hybrid design approaches and spaces. It covers three main topics: 1) How design disciplines have hybridized to include speculative, strategic, sense-making, and relational design; 2) How designers should see themselves not just as problem-solvers but embrace their human qualities and responsibilities; 3) Zarya/hybridspace/lab is presented as an example of designing social spaces that go beyond physical and digital divides. The overall message is that designers should adopt hybrid approaches that integrate human capabilities rather than just focusing on problem-solving.
21. How #nevicata14 and Marx
forever changed my
understanding of design
profession
Or “why designers shouldn’t (just) solve the problems,
but also freeze their asses watching their work being
dismantled”
22. Large part of the time that I
worked for #nevicata14 I was
also complaining about what I
was doing.
But that was the thing — did I want to be a hammer, a pencil,
a ruler, even a swiss-knife or the one who can juggle all of
them (even if sometimes hurting the toes by things falling in
the process)?
23. You have to be human
to design for humans
Designers should reinvent themselves and
overcome the past limits inherited within
the profession by becoming emancipated
“total men” that integrate all their human
capabilities, have full consciousness and
completely accept their responsibility and
operate with it in mind. One way to reach
this is by dis-alienating - studying all
the alienating factors within design
profession and searching to consciously
overcome them.
